    The resin caster I know tapes the window and good openings from the inside with good quality tape, a couple layers crossing each other. He has no clay inside the body.

    I use a paper clip, bend the end out and the rest is like a grip.

    The kit with the yellow car is a 1968 convertible and didn't come with the tri-power set up, the air cleaner was a carry over from the 1969 coupe which had the carbs and intake.

    Referring to the Johan Sox & Martin, I got the street machine version (exact same kit minus decals) for a better price and used the Slixx decal sheet which is superior.

    If you don't mind me asking, what are you using for the upper A arms?

    Nice work. Lots of griping about his kits, but you made it stand out. Question on the headers, are they available thru someone?

    That kit has been issued several times with different box art and decals, so unless you are a 3 stooges collector, I would look elsewhere.

    Powerslide Petty '64 Belvedere decal has the side trim in chrome. You could file the molded kit trim off and use it.

    The clear body is a slab side. I haven't seen you one before except your pictures. The earlier ones have a definite curve at the bottom. Look at Dale Jr. AC Delco car. You are doing the right thing by replacing the clear parts for painting. They will be less brittle and sanding mold lines is easier.

    There is an Earnhardt that is a slab side, guess it was one of the last kits. The Labonte Kelloggs and Jeff Gordon both had slab side kits. Someone could verify this, but the last Gran Prixs (Hot Wheels, John Deere, Hamilton) should work too. On Randy Ayers forum, someone made a list of the two variations.

    I would think you could get the viper red in a touch up spray from an auto parts store still.

    Tim, I like it when someone paints Corvette models with lacquer paint, like the factory did on the real cars.

    You could open up the holes in your photo etched parts with a drill bit or twirling an exacto blade in them

    Their 53 Corvette has one with optional parts for the 54

    Looking for cast/printed/aftermarket parts for 1/12 scale models. Working on a couple of Monogram '67 Corvettes, would like L-88, road and drag racing pieces, wheels and tires. Thanks

    I would bet this was one of Kyle's cars that Richard had to use for some reason. If you have the book "The Cars of the King", in the chapter on the 1981 Regals, you can see he used one of Kyle's Buicks. During that time frame, Richard had trouble with wheels busting, so maybe he was trying something new.
